Osaka Analytics Platform
Designing data tools that people actually enjoy using
About Osaka
An analytics platform built for teams who need answers from their data without needing to write code or wait on a data team.
Challenge
Most analytics tools force a choice: either use rigid pre-built dashboards or learn a query language. Neither works for teams that need flexibility without the learning curve.
Solution
I designed Osaka around progressive complexity: start simple, go deeper when ready. The query builder uses visual blocks instead of SQL, and the dashboard system suggests chart types based on the data you’re looking at. Color palettes are accessible by default, tooltips provide context without clutter, and everything works on mobile.
Results
- 83% of queries completed without writing SQL
- Dashboard creation shifted from 3-day requests to 15-minute self-service
- Data team ticket volume for basic queries dropped by 60%
